Abstract
1,247,336. Digital flowmeters. ELLIOTT BROS. (LONDON) Ltd. 18 Sept., 1968 [28 Sept., 1967], No. 44187/67. Heading G4H. [Also in Division G1] A fluid flowmeter comprises a transmitter giving an output signal having a timing characteristic of the rate of fluid flow, data processing circuitry operative to supply to an indicator signals dependent upon the transmitter output for non-zero outputs only, and control means operable to render the data processing circuitry operative to supply to the indicator signals relating to a zero output rate. The flowmeter comprises a non-magnetic conduit connected, for example, in the fuel supply of an aircraft engine. An electric motor within the conduit drives a hollow drum fitting closely within the conduit and inside the drum is an impeller driven from the drum through a spiral spring. The greater the flow past the impeller the greater will be the force required to turn the impeller and the greater the deflection of the spring and the angular lag of the impeller relative to the drum. Magnets on the drum and on the impeller coact with sensing coils which produce signals indicating by their phase displacement the lag of the impeller and consequently the fuel flow. The pulses from the drum magnet are applied at e, Fig. 5, to a pulse-shaper 106, and the pulses from the impeller magnet are applied at k to a pulse-shaper 110. A crystal oscillator generates clock pulses a, Fig. 6, which are squared at 102(b) and applied to a divider 103 to give longer pulses c. This waveform is differentiated and rectified at 104 giving pulses d spaced so that at least one revolution of the rotary parts of the flowmeter can take place between them. The pulses d are applied to a bi-stable switch 105 the other side of which receives the differentiated and rectified pulses g from the drum magnet. The output h of the switch 105 is differentiated and rectified to produce pulses j representing one of the g pulses occurring between successive d pulses. The j pulses pass to a second bi-stable switch 109, the other input m of which is from the impeller magnet. The output n of switch 109 consists of a series of pulses having a duration proportional to the rate of flow, there being only one pulse in each sampling period (defined by pulses d). The pulses are smoothed at 112 to produce a corresponding amplitude which is compared at 113 with a variable voltage from a potentiometer 114, the error signal r being applied to drive the slider to nullify the error. An indicator 115 then shows the rate of fuel consumption. The pulses n are also used to gate (118) clock pulses b to a divider 119 which gives an output t representing a given unit of fuel consumed. These pulses are counted at 121 registering the total fuel consumed. The logic circuit L fixes a minimum length for the pulses n. If the minimum length is exceeded the pulse is passed without alteration. If it is less than the minimum length no pulse is passed. This cancels pulses which represent zero flow. A switch S is connected in a shunt path round the logic circuit consisting of a relay operated by a push-button via a mono-stable. This is used to test the indicator 121 by passing pulses to it for the period of the monostable. The indicator is automatically reset by subtracting pulses after the test. Specification 1,069,466 is referred to.
